“G.O.A.T. Sneakers” provides a narrative of the integral role sneakers played within key sporting and cultural movements throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, offering a glimpse into the psychological hinterland of the cult of sneaker obsession. The centrepiece of the exhibition is an entire wall devoted to the twenty-five greatest sneakers of all time, as voted for by an international online poll of the general public, starting from a longlist created by an international panel of over 25 industry experts.
